Chelsea's Romelu Lukaku U-turn explained as Blues significantly drop asking price

Chelsea flop Romelu Lukaku is pushing to leave the club this summer, and it looks as though the Blues are doing all that they can to get him out.

The Belgian was signed from Inter Milan for £97.5million last summer but has endured a rocky spell at Chelsea due to injury and also issues away from the field, after admitting to Sky Italia that he'd like to return to Italy after just six months. Inter are looking to re-sign the striker, but on an initial loan fee due to financial issues.

Chelsea were originally asking for a loan fee of £21m for the season ahead but according to GOAL, they're willing to drop this to just £10m after Inter made an opening offer of £6m. It seems like the Blues have given up with the striker and are ready to cut their losses.
